new year, new plan
happy new year everyone ! i know this post is a bit late. my life is an active blend of work and physical training which leaves little time for blogging or much else. i try and thanks to Jose i’ve managed to keep the recipe section up to date which is my priority as far as the blog is concerned.
last year was definitely not the greatest for training and races. i was too focused on running and healing. i lost sight of the big picture. this year, i have decided to focus on cycling during the first half of the year, swimming during the summer months and getting back to marathon training in the fall.
i am registered for this year’s MS Bike Tour (150-mile bike ride to benefit the Multiple Sclerosis Society) in May. i have developed the following training schedule for this event:
| Monday | 1 hr spin + weight train |
| Tuesday | rest/active recovery (swim + weight train) |
| Wednesday | 1 hr spin |
| Thursday | 1 hr ride / indoor cycling (depends on weather) |
| Friday | rest/active recovery (swim + weight train) |
| Saturday | long ride (2-4 hours or more) |
| Sunday | recovery ride (75% of long ride) |
i will revise my training schedule in the summer to incorporate a little bit of running (building a base again) and more swimming. i will do the same in the fall to accommodate more running and marathon training.
also, i have a doctor’s appt tomorrow morning to discuss the results of my bone density test. think happy thoughts for me !
Baby I wish you the very best and hope that your bones are healthy.
Best of luck!
